There something really strange with the log-in going on.

I see a new message on my profile, log in to answer, get redirected to the forum, go back to my profile, see I'm online, which is correct, click on the message again - not logged in. It says sign in below the message. I re-log in, get directed to the forums etc...
This is only in IE.
Using Firefox, it's ok.

I clicked on sign-out now - not logged out, but redirected here again...

I'm not a fan of it, so I might change it to link to their profile page. However, the avatar does link to their profile page.

I find this a useless function. If the user has no avatar you cant get to his profile easily.

But thanx for your work!!!

I just tested- please see my most recent two images. Submitted them 4 minutes apart, but changed the time zone in the forums in between...

They show 7 hours apart on the timestamps, and are about 70 images apart on the 'what's new' (the image submitted LAST is showing as being EARLIER on what's new).

The time displayed appears to be the local time selected in the forum, not Eastern Daylight Time as it was before.

I believe that I fixed this today. If you wouldn't mind performing the same test and letting me know the results, that would be great.

My tests seem to work now. Everything gets stamped with Eastern Daylight Time I believe.

Everything is fixed Matt. Pics, votes, everything show with EDT. When I submit a photo, there are still a few from others that remain ahead of it in the 'What's New', from clever folks who changed their time zone to one that keeps it atop the page as long as possible, and had submitted today before your fix went in. From here going forward this doesn't happen though.

Thank you sir!

So maybe that's what happened last week. I posted a page, and a little later I noticed that a page posted earlier in the day had moved back to the top of the list. My assumption was that the person had deleted and then reposted his page. But maybe he was playing games with the times instead. Either way, that's pretty pathetic.

Right Bob! It was the time zones. Was chugach mtn boy that alerted us it affected the 'What's New'. And I was able to see the impact of the time zone players today (the same photos have been there all day). I also confirmed that they knew what they were doing... at least some of them weren't in time zones such that their own location would have caused it- rather it would have hurt them had they used their own time zone.

But the ability is now gone.

Oh well, back to the same old same old. It was so exotic being in the Casablanca time zone ....

Sam: What? My watch stopped.
Rick: I'd bet they're asleep in New York. I'd bet they're asleep all over America.

Was this the POTD crowd? Put them in the penalty box.

Actually I didn't look closely. But to be fair the ones I saw weren't POTD members though. Perhaps they didn't even know about this, since most don't come into the forums.

Uh-oh. I talked about them in a forum.

Apologies if this was already addressed.

I decided just after submitting this photo:
http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.p ... _id=672022

that I liked another, very similar shot better for the purpose. I used the Edit feature to browse to and submit a new photo without changing the description. (It showed the same climber in the same location, later the same day. Nobody had voted on the photo yet.)

When I click through to the full-size photo, I see that the new one did upload, but the photo's "main page" and all the gallery thumbnails still show the "old" photo. (Yes, I told my browser to force-reload. I also tried in a different browser that uses a different cache directory.)

In case this is just a Rackspace issue that will resolve itself in a few minutes: The old photo is oriented vertically (portrait mode); the new one is horizontal (landscape mode). If you see the climber with his shirt on, you're seeing the new photo.

Give it up to 48 hrs and it will correct itself everywhere. From my computer it looks like it already has.

Is there some reason why I can't post my trip report this morning? I have the report all set and then it kicks me out into the "Create A Page" page. Nevermind; I got it working now.

I am currently unable to submit a Route Page, I keep getting a message saying there was an error uploading the file, try again. Tried it about 5 times and same thing.

Edit-it looks like they were created even though I got that message. Deleting duplicate...............

Clicking on a user page (starting from the "People" page) now gives one the page of a photo or mountain since User IDs and object IDs are confused in the new URL formats.

The links currently looking like:

But should look like:

On my profile, "Replies to My Messages" now shows a message from January 30, 2009, on top, above all of October 2010. Odd.
